    Rolling back Obamacare makes sense now. If you kill off anyone who's unhealthy, you no longer have a healthcare problem.

    We just witnessed someone buy a political office.

    This is why Trump got elected

    wait.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Betsy Devos got confirmed because Pence had to use his tie breaker vote. She is no matter what your politics...not the sharpest knife in the rack.

    Her family spent millions advancing Pence’s voucher program in Indiana. On Fox News on Sunday, Pence called it a “high honor” to cast the deciding vote in her confirmation.
    I assume that is meant.

    Marco Rubio (among others) got $100,000 from Devos prior to the confirmation.

    If she successfully expands voucher programs, I'm satisfied. The current system pretty much guarantees that the worst neighborhoods get the worst schools, and the poor children living there have no way out of them. Let them have a choice.

    And if she kills the identity politics obsession in universities; bonus.
